After The Fall

Regarding the US war on Iraq I often comes across comments like this: "The utter collapse of any country that invades another nation and slaughters children would be a good thing."

I see similar sentiments on all the "progressive" sites, regarding most everything the US does.

Hoping for a collapse of the "homeland" - it's a polite way of saying "Goddam America" - for being greedy white imperialists. The folks behind such statements consider themselves intelligent, caring, rational, righteously anger over injustice, the torch carriers for social justice.

But, have these folks seriously thought about a US collapse? What would be the likely scenario at home and abroad if there is an "utter collapse" of the US? A collapse that would encompass the social, economic, and political.

I can't think of a better way than "utter collapse" to install totalitarian rule of the masses, and by the way, Americans have a lot further to fall than the Soviets, and the US will bring many other countries/regions down with it; unlike the USSR which had very little foreign investment at the time of its collapse.

What do progressives think will rise from the ashes of a US collapse? That a new and improved government will provide folks with the minimum of food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and little else? My great, great, great grandfather furnished the same to his slaves.

And I have no doubt that these self-same righteous progressives, under a collapsed US, would demand shoot-to-kill troop protection when folks from the 'hood breach their gated communities for essentials.

Makes ya wonder Bubba who the "left/progressives" are really working for.
